Bullet holes remain on a number of cars and in the walls of State Market Liquor store, at 707 Willow St, in Oakland Tuesday November 29 2011. A hail of gunfire wounded eight people, including a 1-year-old boy and a woman who authorities say were hospitalized in critical condition Monday night. The gunfire broke out in parking lot after a crowd had gathered, police said.

Two days after the West Oakland shootout that left 1-year-old Hiram Lawrenceon life support with a bullet to the head and six other people wounded, one of the suspects in the attack unwittingly crossed paths with the tot's family at Children's Hospital Oakland - and got pummeled.

Oakland police said the man - who was arrested on suspicion of assault - is one of the five "persons of interest" in the Nov. 29 firefight at Seventh and Willow streets, in the shadow of the elevated BART tracks.

Three men in hooded sweatshirts opened fire on a group in a parking lot, then fled in a car driven by a fourth man while at least two people in the targeted group fired back.

According to accounts pieced together from both Oakland police and the Alameda County Sheriff's Department, the unfortunate suspect showed up at Children's Hospital about 9:30 p.m. two days after the shootings, either to visit or accompany another child who was sick.

"That's the mother that was driving the car," someone yelled when he happened to walk past Hiram's family in the lobby.

Alameda County sheriff's officials say Hiram's relatives and their friends then attacked him.

Oakland police subsequently booked the man on suspicion of assault and an unspecified outstanding warrant. He has not been booked in connection with the shootings.

Police declined to say why none of the family members and friends who beat him up had been arrested.

Police spokeswoman Johnna Watsonwould not release the man's name, saying it could jeopardize the investigation into the shooting.

Incomplete pass: Mayor Ed Lee'shope that the Oakland Raiders will balk at sharing a Santa Clara stadium with the 49ers and thus reopen the door for San Francisco to keep the team appears to be dead even before the snap.

"We have a tremendous relationship with the 49ers, and we have an open mind about sharing a stadium," Raiders CEO Amy Trask tells us.

"The 49ers regularly brief us about their Santa Clara project, and we keep the 49ers up to date on issues with respect to Oakland," she said.

However, Trask added, all the Raiders' talks with the 49ers have focused on just two locations - Oakland and Santa Clara. No mention of San Francisco.

Lee told reporters Monday that with financing coming together for the 49ers' stadium in Santa Clara, San Francisco's only hope would be for the NFL - which is being asked to kick in $150 million for the $1 billion project - to insist the Raiders and 49ers share the stadium, and that the Raiders would say "no."

Lee's thinking is that San Francisco would be a more appealing move for the Raiders than Santa Clara. "That's the only shot we have," he said.

Apparently, however, it's a blank.

Jerry's tax: As rollouts go, Gov. Jerry Brown's call to increase income taxes for the rich and sales taxes for everyone was about as low-key as you could get.

No rally, no news conference and definitely none of the Hollywood-style staging (complete with special effects) that characterized his predecessor Arnold Schwarzenegger's announcements.

Just a note posted on his Web page.

And with good reason.

The governor's proposal is just one of several tax plans that may be headed for the November ballot - including a few being pushed by people with very big egos and even bigger wallets.

Picking fights in the press with such folks isn't the smartest strategy if you're trying to talk them out of the race.

Besides, "there will be plenty of time ahead to discuss the governor's plan," said Brown spokesman Gil Duran.

Radio waves: KGO radio's decision to dump most of its talk format in favor of news has touched off a listener tsunami - not to mention this scathing react from ex-KGO/KSFO personality Lee Rodgers, now living in Tucson, Ariz., and recovering from complications from a quadruple bypass.

"As a 25-year veteran at both the ABC stations in San Francisco (and one of the first to depart because the previous sleazy owners resented my substantial salary), I am amused at the naivete of listeners writing about protests to the management of KGO/KSFO," Rodgers e-mailed us following our item about the format switch.

"This was a coldly calculated decision ... made at Cumulus (Media) headquarters in Atlanta," Rodgers writes.

Station management, by the way, did not return our call seeking comment.
